The term “optionally substituted” in reference to a particular moiety of the compound of Formula I (e.g., an optionally substituted aryl group) refers to a moiety wherein all substituents are hydrogen or wherein one or more of the hydrogens of the moiety may be replaced by the listed substituents.

Unless otherwise specified, the carbon atoms of the compounds of Formula I are intended to have a valence of four. If in some chemical structure representations, carbon atoms do not have a sufficient number of variables attached to produce a valence of four, the remaining carbon substituents needed to provide a valence of four should be assumed to be hydrogen.

The term “treating”, as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, means reversing, alleviating, inhibiting the progress of, or preventing the disorder or condition to which such term applies, or one or more symptoms of such disorder or condition. The term “treatment”, as used herein, refers to the act of treating, as “treating” is defined immediately above.

“Prevention” or “preventing” means any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. The compounds and compositions disclosed herein may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk of having the disease or condition. As used herein, the terms “preventing” and “prevention” encompass the administration of a compound, composition, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt according to the embodiments disclosed herein pre- or post-exposure of the individual to a virus, but before the appearance of symptoms of the viral infection, and/or prior to the detection of the virus in the blood. The terms also refer to prevention of the appearance of symptoms of the disease and/or to prevent the virus from reaching detectible levels in the blood. The terms include both pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as well as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and event driven or “on demand” prophylaxis.

The precise amount will depend upon numerous factors, for example the particular compound of Formula I, the specific activity of the composition, the delivery device employed, the physical characteristics of the composition, its intended use, as well as patient considerations such as severity of the disease state, patient cooperation, etc., and can readily be determined by one skilled in the art based upon the information provided herein.

“DSC” refers to differential scanning calorimetry.

““XRPD” refers to the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of a solid form.

“TGA” refers to thermogravimetric analysis.

The term “substantially as shown in” when referring, for example, to an XRPD pattern, a DSC thermogram, or a TGA graph includes a pattern, thermogram or graph that may not be necessarily identical to those depicted herein, but that falls within the limits of experimental error or deviations when considered by one of ordinary skill in the art.

“Protecting group” refers to a moiety of a compound that masks or alters the properties of a functional group or the properties of the compound as a whole. The chemical substructure of a protecting group varies widely. One function of a protecting group is to serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of the parental drug substance. Chemical protecting groups and strategies for protection/deprotection are well known in the art. See: “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry”, Theodora W. Greene (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991. See also Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Peter G. M. Wuts and Theodora W. Greene, 4th Ed., 2006. Protecting groups are often utilized to mask the reactivity of certain functional groups, to assist in the efficiency of desired chemical reactions, e.g., making and breaking chemical bonds in an ordered and planned fashion. Protection of functional groups of a compound alters other physical properties besides the reactivity of the protected functional group, such as the polarity, lipophilicity (hydrophobicity), and other properties which can be measured by common analytical tools. Chemically protected intermediates may themselves be biologically active or inactive. “Hydroxy protecting groups” refers to those protecting groups useful for protecting hydroxy groups (—OH).

“Deprotection agent” refers to any agent capable of removing a protecting group. The deprotection agent will depend on the type of protecting group used. Representative deprotection agents are known in the art and can be found in Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Peter G. M. Wuts and Theodora W. Greene, 4th Ed., 2006.

III. Compounds

Any reference to the compounds of the invention described herein also includes a reference to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention include salts derived from an appropriate base, such as an alkali metal or an alkaline earth (for example, Na⁺, Li⁺, K⁺, Ca⁺² and Mg⁺²), ammonium and NR₄ ⁺ (wherein R is defined herein). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a nitrogen atom or an amino group include (a) acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamic acids, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and the like; (b) salts formed with organic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, isethionic acid, lactobionic acid, tannic acid, palmitic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, polygalacturonic acid, malonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, glycolic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate, pamoate, salicylic acid, stearic acid, phthalic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, lysine, arginine, glutamic acid, glycine, serine, threonine, alanine, isoleucine, leucine and the like; and (c) salts formed from elemental anions for example, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of a hydroxy group include the anion of said compound in combination with a suitable cation such as Na⁺ and NR₄ ⁺.

The compounds disclosed herein (e.g., compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, and VIb) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts may exist as different polymorphs or pseudopolymorphs. As used herein, crystalline polymorphism means the ability of a crystalline compound to exist in different crystal structures. The crystalline polymorphism may result from differences in crystal packing (packing polymorphism) or differences in packing between different conformers of the same molecule (conformational polymorphism). As used herein, crystalline pseudopolymorphism means the ability of a hydrate or solvate of a compound to exist in different crystal structures. The pseudopolymorphs of the instant invention may exist due to differences in crystal packing (packing pseudopolymorphism) or due to differences in packing between different conformers of the same molecule (conformational pseudopolymorphism). The instant invention comprises all polymorphs and pseudopolymorphs of the compounds of Formula I, Ia, Ib, II, IIa, IIb, III, IIIa, IIIb, or IIIc, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

The compounds disclosed herein (e.g., compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, and VIb) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts may also exist as an amorphous solid. As used herein, an amorphous solid is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms in the solid. This definition applies as well when the crystal size is two nanometers or less. Additives, including solvents, may be used to create the amorphous forms of the instant invention. The instant invention comprises all amorphous forms of the compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, and VIb, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

For therapeutic use, salts of active ingredients of the compounds of the invention will be pharmaceutically acceptable, i.e., they will be salts derived from a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base. However, salts of acids or bases which are not pharmaceutically acceptable may also find use, for example, in the preparation or purification of a pharmaceutically acceptable compound. All salts, whether or not derived form a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base, are within the scope of the present invention.

It is also to be understood that the compositions herein comprise compounds of the invention in their un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic form, and combinations with stoichiometric amounts of water as in hydrates.

It is to be noted that all enantiomers, diastereomers, and racemic mixtures, tautomers, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs of compounds within the scope of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, or VIb and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are embraced by the present invention. All mixtures of such enantiomers and diastereomers are within the scope of the present invention.

The compounds of the invention, exemplified by Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, or VIb may have chiral centers, e.g., chiral carbon or phosphorus atoms. The compounds of the invention thus include racemic mixtures of all stereoisomers, including enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropisomers. In addition, the compounds of the invention include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric, chiral atoms. In other words, the chiral centers apparent from the depictions are provided as the chiral isomers or racemic mixtures. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers isolated or synthesized, substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, are all within the scope of the invention. The racemic mixtures are separated into their individual, substantially optically pure isomers through appropriate techniques such as, for example, the separation of diastereomeric salts formed with optically active adjuncts, e.g., acids or bases followed by conversion back to the optically active substances. In most instances, the desired optical isomer is synthesized by means of stereospecific reactions, beginning with the appropriate stereoisomer of the desired starting material.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds (1994) John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1, D and L, or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with S, (−), or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory while a compound prefixed with R, (+), or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms “racemic mixture” and “racemate” refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity.

The compounds of the invention may also exist as tautomeric isomers in certain cases. Although only one delocalized resonance structure may be depicted, all such forms are contemplated within the scope of the invention. For example, ene-amine tautomers can exist for purine, pyrimidine, imidazole, guanidine, amidine, and tetrazole systems and all their possible tautomeric forms are within the scope of the invention.

Any formula or structure given herein, including Formula I, II, III, IV, V, Va, Vb, VI, VIa, and VIb compounds, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to ²H (deuterium, D), ³H (tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl and ¹²⁵I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H, ¹³C and ¹⁴C are incorporated. Such isotopically labelled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.

The disclosure also includes compounds of Formula I in which from 1 to x hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which x is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound of Formula I when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). In view of the present disclosure, such compounds are synthesized by means known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.

Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An ¹⁸F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of Formula I.

The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

Whenever a compound described herein is substituted with more than one of the same designated group, e.g., “R” or “R”, then it will be understood that the groups may be the same or different, i.e., each group is independently selected.

In some embodiments, the pH of the formulations ranges from about 2 to about 5, but is ordinarily about 3 to 4.

While it is possible for the compounds of the disclosure (“the active ingredients”) to be administered alone it may be preferable to present them as pharmaceutical formulations. The formulations, both for veterinary and for human use, of the invention comprise at least one active ingredient, as above defined, together with one or more acceptable carriers therefor and optionally other therapeutic ingredients, particularly those additional therapeutic ingredients as discussed herein. The carrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and physiologically innocuous to the recipient thereof.

The formulations include those suitable for the foregoing administration routes. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any appropriate method known in the art of pharmacy. Techniques and formulations generally are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.). Such methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

In some embodiments the compound of Formula I or Ia, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, described herein have optimized/improved pharmacokinetic properties and are amenable to oral administration. For example, the compounds of Formula I or Ia, have improved bioavailability and can therefore be administered by oral administration.

In some embodiments, the formulations of the present invention are suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste.

In some embodiments, the tablet is made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered active ingredient moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and optionally are formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therefrom.

For infections of the eye or other external tissues, e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are applied as a topical ointment or cream containing the active ingredient(s) in an amount of, for example, 0.075 to 20% w/w (including active ingredient(s) in a range between 0.1% and 20% in increments of 0.1% w/w such as 0.6% w/w, 0.7% w/w, etc.), preferably 0.2 to 15% w/w and most preferably 0.5 to 10% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base.

If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example, at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol, i.e., an alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups such as propylene glycol, butane 1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol (including PEG 400) and mixtures thereof. The topical formulations may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethyl sulphoxide and related analogs.

The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier (otherwise known as an emulgent), it desirably comprises a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations.

Emulgents and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the invention include Tween® 60, Span® 80, cetostearyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl mono-stearate and sodium lauryl sulfate. Further emulgents and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the invention include Tween® 80.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties. The cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters known as Crodamol CAP may be used, the last three being preferred esters.

For example, a unit dose of a compound of the invention can be administered first, followed within seconds or minutes by administration of a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents. Alternatively, a unit dose of one or more other therapeutic agents can be administered first, followed by administration of a unit dose of a compound of the invention within seconds or minutes. In some cases, it may be desirable to administer a unit dose of a compound of the invention first, followed, after a period of hours (e.g., 1-12 hours), by administration of a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents. In other cases, it may be desirable to administer a unit dose of one or more other active therapeutic agents first, followed, after a period of hours (e.g., 1-12 hours), by administration of a unit dose of a compound of the invention.

The combination therapy may provide “synergy” and “synergistic”, i.e., the effect achieved when the active ingredients used together is greater than the sum of the effects that results from using the compounds separately. A synergistic effect may be attained when the active ingredients are: (1) co-formulated and administered or delivered simultaneously in a combined formulation; (2) delivered by alternation or in parallel as separate formulations; or (3) by some other regimen. When delivered in alternation therapy, a synergistic effect may be attained when the compounds are administered or delivered sequentially, e.g., in separate tablets, pills or capsules, or by different injections in separate syringes. In general, during alternation therapy, an effective dosage of each active ingredient is administered sequentially, i.e., serially, whereas in combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more active ingredients are administered together. A synergistic anti-viral effect denotes an antiviral effect which is greater than the predicted purely additive effects of the individual compounds of the combination.

3. Combination Therapy for Respiratory Infections

Many of the infections of the Pneumoviridae, Picornaviridae, and Coronaviridae viruses are respiratory infections. Therefore, additional active therapeutics used to treat respiratory symptoms and sequelae of infection may be used in combination with the compounds provided herein. The additional agents are preferably administered orally or by direct inhalation. For example, other preferred additional therapeutic agents in combination with the compounds provided herein for the treatment of viral respiratory infections include, but are not limited to, bronchodilators and corticosteroids.

Glucocorticoids

Glucocorticoids, which were first introduced as an asthma therapy in 1950 (Carryer, Journal of Allergy, 21, 282-287, 1950), remain the most potent and consistently effective therapy for this disease, although their mechanism of action is not yet fully understood (Morris, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol., 75 (1 Pt) 1-13, 1985). Unfortunately, oral glucocorticoid therapies are associated with profound undesirable side effects such as truncal obesity, hypertension, glaucoma, glucose intolerance, acceleration of cataract formation, bone mineral loss, and psychological effects, all of which limit their use as long-term therapeutic agents (Goodman and Gilman, 10th edition, 2001). A solution to systemic side effects is to deliver steroid drugs directly to the site of inflammation. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have been developed to mitigate the severe adverse effects of oral steroids. Non-limiting examples of corticosteroids that may be used in combinations with the compounds provided herein are dexamethasone, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, fluorometholone, fluorometholone acetate, loteprednol, loteprednol etabonate, hydrocortisone, prednisolone, fludrocortisones, triamcinolone, triamcinolone acetonide, betamethasone, beclomethasone diproprionate, methylprednisolone, fluocinolone, fluocinolone acetonide, flunisolide, fluocortin-21-butylate, flumethasone, flurnetasone pivalate, budesonide, halobetasol propionate, mom etasone furoate, fluticasone, AZD-7594, ciclesonide; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Anti-Inflammatory Agents

Other anti-inflammatory agents working through anti-inflammatory cascade mechanisms are also useful as additional therapeutic agents in combination with the compounds provided herein for the treatment of viral respiratory infections. Applying “anti-inflammatory signal transduction modulators” (referred to in this text as AISTM), like phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., PDE-4, PDE-5, or PDE-7 specific), transcription factor inhibitors (e.g., blocking NFκB through IKK inhibition), or kinase inhibitors (e.g., blocking P38 MAP, JNK, PI3K, EGFR or Syk) is a logical approach to switching off inflammation as these small molecules target a limited number of common intracellular pathways—those signal transduction pathways that are critical points for the anti-inflammatory therapeutic intervention (see review by P. J. Barnes, 2006). These non-limiting additional therapeutic agents include: 5-(2,4-Difluoro-phenoxy)-1-isobutyl-1H-indazole-6-carboxylic acid (2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-amide (P38 Map kinase inhibitor ARRY-797); 3-Cyclopropylmethoxy-N-(3,5-dichloro-pyridin-4-yl)-4-difluorormethoxy-benzamide (PDE-4 inhibitor Roflumilast); 4-[2-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-ethyl]-pyridine (PDE-4 inhibitor CDP-840); N-(3,5-dichloro-4-pyridinyl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)-8-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]-1-dibenzofurancarboxamide (PDE-4 inhibitor Oglemilast); N-(3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-4-yl)-2-[1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl]-2-oxo-acetamide (PDE-4 inhibitor AWD 12-281); 8-Methoxy-2-trifluoromethyl-quinoline-5-carboxylic acid (3,5-dichloro-1-oxy-pyridin-4-yl)-amide (PDE-4 inhibitor Sch 351591); 4-[5-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methanesulfinyl-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyridine (P38 inhibitor SB-203850); 4-[4-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-1-(3-phenyl-propyl)-5-pyridin-4-yl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-but-3-yn-1-ol (P38 inhibitor RWJ-67657); 4-Cyano-4-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2-diethylamino-ethyl ester (2-diethyl-ethyl ester prodrug of Cilomilast, PDE-4 inhibitor); (3-Chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-[7-methoxy-6-(3-morpholin-4-yl-propoxy)-quinazolin-4-yl]-amine (Gefitinib, EGFR inhibitor); and 4-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-benzamide (Imatinib, EGFR inhibitor).

Example 42: RSV Antiviral Assay (Hep2) Compound Source and Destination (Assay) Plate Preparation

Compounds were prepared in 384 well compound dilution plates (Greiner LDV) according to HTBS standardized layouts with 8 compounds per plate in grouped replicates of 4 at 10 serially diluted concentrations (1:3). Alternatively, a 40 compound format could be used that contain single replicate dilutions with 8 dilution points. The top concentration was usually 10 or 20 mM in DMSO, which worked out to 50 or 100 uM respectively in this assay format. Some controls required lower starting concentrations (i.e., Pleconaril, BTA-798 and Rupintrivir at 10, 10 and 1 uM final assay concentrations respectively). Column 2 was the designated negative control and column 23 the positive control standards for each assay plate. For EC₅₀ assessments, a positive control was placed in column 23 and DMSO only in 1, 2 & 24. Column 2 generally served as the negative control for both assays. These prepared plates were sealed and stored at −20 until use.

EC₅₀-Hep2/B1-384

Hep2 cells (5.0×10⁴ cells/ml in MEM supplemented with Glutamine, 10% FBS and Pen/Strep) were prepared as above from harvested stock in batch to at least 40 mLs excess of the number of sample plates (8 mLs cell mix per plate) and infected with vendor supplied (ABI) RSV strain A2 to arrive at an MOI of 1:1000 (virus:cell #) or 1:1500 (vol virus: cell vol). Immediately after addition of virus, the RSV infected Hep2 cell suspension was added to each 384-well compound plate at 20 uL per well using a uFlow dispenser, or 1000 infected cells/well. It was useful to prime at least 5 mLs mix before dispensing to plates. Also, infectious mix was intermittently swirled to maintain consistent cell density. The plates were then incubated for 4 days at 37° C. and 5% CO₂.

Following incubation, 16 μL of Cell-Titer Glo viability reagent (Promega) was added to each well via uFlow. After a 15-20 minute 37° C. incubation, the plates were read using an EnVision (Perkin-Elmer) with a luminescence program for 384-well plates with 0.1 sec integration time. The data was then uploaded and analysed on the Bioinformatics portal under the RSV Cell Infectivity and 8-sample EC₅₀-Hep2-384 or 40-sample EC₅₀-Hep2-Envision protocols. Curves are fitted and EC₅₀ values were recorded. The results for exemplary compounds are summarized in Table 1.

CC₅₀-Hep2/B1-384

1. Hep2 cells (5×10⁴ cells/ml) are added to each prespotted test plate at 20 ul per well to give a total of 1000 cells/well. The plates are then incubated for 4 days at 37° C. and 5% CO₂. Following incubation, the Cell-Titer Glo viability reagent (Promega) is prewarmed to 37 deg and 16 ul added to each well via uFlow. Following a 10-20 minute incubation at 37 deg, the plates are read using an EnVision using the luminescence readout procedure above. The data are then uploaded and analyzed on the Bioinformatics portal under the Cytotoxicity assays using the 8-plate CC50-Hep2 or 8-plate CC50-Hep2 Envision protocols.

Example 43: SARS-CoV-2 Antiviral Assay

1.2×10⁴ A549-hACE2 cells in 50 μL phenol red-free DMEM medium supplemented with 2% FBS were seeded in each well of a white opaque 96-well plate (Corning, Cat #3916). On the next day, 2-fold serial dilutions of compounds were prepared in DMSO. The compounds were further diluted as 100 folds in the 2% FBS culture medium. Cell culture fluids were removed and incubated with 50 μL diluted compound solutions and 50 μL of SARS-CoV2-Nano viruses (MOI 0.025). At 48 h post-infection, 50 μL Nano luciferase substrates (Promega, Cat #N1150) were added to each well. Luciferase signals were measured using a Synergy™ Neo2 Multi-Mode microplate reader (BioTek). The relative luciferase signals were calculated by normalizing the luciferase signals of the compound-treated groups to that of the DMSO-treated groups (expressed in percentages). The relative luciferase signals (Y axis) to the log 10 values of compound concentration (X axis) were plotted in the software GraphPad Prism 8. The EC₅₀ (compound concentration for reducing 50% of luciferase signals) were calculated using a nonlinear regression model (four parameters). The values (μM) of exemplary compounds are shown in Table 1 below.

Alternatively, A549-hACE2 cells (12,000 cells per well in medium containing 2% FBS) were plated into a white clear-bottomed 96-well plate (Corning) at a volume of 50 μL. On the next day, compounds were added directly to cultures as 3-fold serial dilutions with a Tecan D300e digital liquid dispenser, with DMSO volumes normalized to that of the highest compound concentration (final DMSO concentration <0.1%). To the diluted compound solutions, 50 μL of SARS-CoV-2-Nluc viruses (MOI 0.025 pfu/cell), expressing a nano luciferase reporter protein, were added. At 48 h post-infection, 75 μL Nano luciferase substrate solution (Promega) was added to each well. Luciferase signals were measured using an Envision microplate reader (Perkin Elmer). The relative luciferase signals were calculated by normalizing the luciferase signals of the compound-treated groups to that of the DMSO-treated groups (set as 100%). EC₅₀ values (Table 1) were calculated using a nonlinear four parameter variable slope regression model.

Example 44: A549-hACE2 CC₅₀ Assay

The cytotoxicity of compounds was determined in A549-hACE2 cells in the following manner. Compounds (200 nL) were spotted onto 384-well Grenier plates prior to seeding 5000 A549-hACE2 cells/well in a volume of 40 μL culture medium. The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 48 hours with 5% CO₂. On day 2, 40 μL of CellTiter-Glo (Promega) was added and mixed 5 times. Plates were read for luminescence on an Envision (PerkinElmer) and the CC₅₀ (compound concentration for reducing 50% of luminescence signal as a measure of cell viability) were calculated using a nonlinear regression model (four parameters) and are shown in Table 1 below.

Example 45: RSV Antiviral Assay (NHBE)

Normal human brochial epithelial (NHBE) cells were purchased from Lonza (Walkersville, Md. Cat #CC-2540) and maintained in Bronchial Epithelial Cell Growth Medium (BEGM) (Lonza, Walkersville, Md., Cat #CC-3170) with all provided supplements in the BulletKit. Cells were passaged 2-3 times per week to maintain sub-confluent densities and were used for experiments at passages 2-4.

Recombinant Respiratory Syncytial virus strain A2 containing the firefly luciferase reporter between the P and M genes (RSV-Fluc, 6.3×10⁶ TCID50/mL) was purchased from Viratree (Durham, N.C., Cat #R145).

NHBE cells (5×10³/well) were seeded in 100 μL white wall/clear bottom 96-well plates (Corning) with culture medium and incubated for 24 hours at 37° C. with 5% CO₂. On the following day, three-fold serial dilutions (starting at 5 μM and ending at 0.002 μM) of compounds prepared in DMSO were added to the wells using the HP D300e digital dispenser with normalization to the highest concentration of DMSO in all wells (>0.1% final volume). The cells were then infected with RSV-Fluc diluted with BEGM media at an MOI of 0.1 for a final volume of 200 μl media/well. Uninfected and untreated wells were included as controls to determine compound efficacy against RSV-Fluc. Following incubation with compound and virus for three days at 37° C. with 5% CO₂, 100 μL of culture supernatant was removed from each well and replaced with 100 μL of ONE-Glo luciferase reagent (Promega, Madison, Wis., Cat #E6110). The plates were gently mixed by rocking for 10 minutes at 25° C. and luminescence signal was measured using an Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer). Values were normalized to the uninfected and infected DMSO controls (0% and 100% infection, respectively). Non-linear regression analysis was applied to determine the compound concentration at which 50% luminescence signal was reduced (EC₅₀) using the XLfit4 add-in for Microsoft®; Excel®. All experiments were performed in duplicate with two technical repeats each. Data from these experiments is presented in Table 2 below.

Cells and Viruses

African green monkey kidney cells VeroE6 (ATCC®, cat #CRL-1586 ™), human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells Calu-3 (ATCC® HTB-55™), human epithelial/HeLa contaminant HEp-2 cells (ATCC®, cat #CCL-23™), baby hamster kidney cells BHK-21 (ATCC®, cat #CCL-10™) were cultivated in a humidified chamber at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Corning, cat #10-013-CV, lot #05721000) supplemented with 7.5% (10% for Calu-3) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Corning, cat #35-010-CV, lot #14020001). Human epithelial colon adenocarcinoma HCT-8 cells (ATCC® cat #CCL-244™ lot #70036111) were cultivated at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium (Quality biological, cat #112-024-101, lot #723411) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco, cat #23030-081) and 10% heat-inactivated FBS.

A549-hACE2 cells that stably express human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) were grown in the culture medium supplemented with 10 μg/mL Blasticidin S. Primary human airway epithelial (HAE) cells from multiple donors were cultivated at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ in Bronchial Epithelial Cell Growth Medium (BEGM) BulletKit following the provider's instructions (Lonza, cat #CC-3171 lot #0000889952 with supplement cat #CC-4175 lot #0000848033). Human Bronchial Tracheal Epithelial cells (HBTEC) were derived from the following donors: “F2” from a 29-year old Caucasian female (Lifeline, cat #FC-0035, lot #5101); “F3” from a 42-year old Caucasian female (Lonza, cat #CC-25405, lot #0000519670); “M2” from a 40-year old Caucasian male (Lonza, cat #CC-2540S, lot #0000667744); and “M6” from a 48-year old Caucasian male (Lonza, cat #CC-2540S, lot #0000544414). Diseased (Asthma) Human Bronchial Epithelial (DHBE) cells “DF2” were from a 55-year old Caucasian female (Lonza, cat #00194911S, lot #0000534647). Primary HAE were used for cytotoxicity assays at passage ≤3. Cell lines were routinely checked for mycoplasma and bacterial contamination. SARS-CoV-2 strains were propagated using Calu-3 cells supplemented with 2% FBS in accordance with approved biosafety level 3 protocols. Virus stocks were stored at −80° C. Stock virus titers were determined by plaque assay.

Plaque Assays

Vero E6 cells were seeded in 12-well plates at 3×10⁵ cells per well. The following day, samples were serially diluted in DMEM containing Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Gibco) supplemented with 2% FBS. Dilutions were then added to cells and incubated for 1 hour at 37° C. Cells were subsequently overlayed with 1.2% Avicel 581-NF (FMC BioPolymer) in DMEM containing Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Gibco) and allowed to incubate for 3 days at 37° C. with 5% CO₂. After 3 days, the overlay was removed, cells were washed once with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with neutral buffered formalin (10%) for 15 minutes. Plaques were then visualized using 1% crystal violet.

Cytotoxicity Assays

7,500 cells were seeded in each well of 96-well plates (Corning, cat #3598). Cells were incubated with 3-fold serial dilutions of compound from a 100 μM maximum concentration. Each plate included 4 wells of positive (100 μM cycloheximide (Millipore Sigma, cat #C7698-5G)) and negative (vehicle (0.2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO))) controls for normalization. Plates were incubated in a humidified chamber at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ for 72 hours. PrestoBlue™ Cell Viability Reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific, cat #A13262) was added in each well (10 μl/well) and fluorescence recorded on a Synergy H1 multimode microplate reader (BioTek) after 1-hour incubation (excitation 560 nm, emission 590 nm). Raw data was normalized with the formula: % cell viability=100×(signal sample−signal positive control)/(signal negative control−signal positive control). 50% cytotoxic concentrations (CC₅₀) and 95% confidence intervals after non-linear regression were determined using the inhibitor vs normalized response equation in Prism 9.1.0 for MacOS (GraphPad).

Virus Yield Reduction

2×10⁵ VeroE6 cells were seeded per well in 12-well plates 16 hours before infection. Confluent monolayers were then infected with the indicated virus at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1 pfu/cell for 1 hour at 37° C. with frequent rocking. Inoculum was removed and replaced with 1 mL of DMEM with 2% FBS and the indicated concentration of compound. Cells were incubated at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ for 48 hours. Supernatant were harvested, aliquoted and stored at −80° C. before being analyzed by plaque assay.

Ferret Efficacy Studies

Female ferrets (6-10 months old, Mustela putorius furo) were purchased from Triple F Farms. Ferrets were rested for 7 days after arrival. Ferrets were then housed individually or in groups of 2 in ventilated negative-pressure cages in an ABSL-3 facility. Based on previous experiments⁶, ferrets were randomly assigned to groups (n=4) and used as an in vivo model to examine the efficacy of orally administered compounds against SARS-CoV-2 infection. No blinding of investigators was performed. Ferrets were anesthetized using dexmedetomidine/ketamine and infected intranasally with 1×10⁵ pfu 2019-nCoV/USA-WA1/2020 in 1 mL (0.5 mL per nare). Body weight and temperature were measured once daily. Nasal lavages were performed twice daily using 1 mL sterile PBS (containing Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Gibco). Nasal lavage samples were stored at −80° C. until virus titration could be performed by plaque assay. Treatment (once daily (q.d.) or twice daily (b.i.d.)) was initiated at either 0 or 12 hours after infection and continued until 4 days post infection with either vehicle (2.5% dimethyl sulfoxide; 10% Kolliphor HS-15; 10% Labrasol; 2.5% propylene glycol; 75% water) or compound. Four days after infection, ferrets were euthanized, and tissues and organs were harvested and stored at −80° C. until processed.

Contact Transmission in Ferrets

Eight ferrets were anesthetized and inoculated intranasally with 1×10⁵ pfu of hCoV-19/Japan/TY7-503/2021. Twelve hours after infection, ferrets were split into two groups (n=4; 2 ferrets per cage) and treated with vehicle or Compound 1 (10 mg kg⁻¹) twice daily (b.i.d.) via oral gavage. At 54 hours after infection, uninfected and untreated contact ferrets (two contacts for Compound 1; three contacts for vehicle) were cohoused with source ferrets. Cohousing was continued until 96 hours after infection and source ferrets were euthanized. Contact ferrets were housed individually and monitored for an additional 4 days after separation from source ferrets and subsequently euthanized. Nasal lavages were performed on all source ferrets every 12 hours and all contact ferrets every 24 hours. For all ferrets, nasal turbinates and lung tissues were harvested to determine viral titers and the detection of viral RNA.

SARS-CoV-2 Titration in Tissue Extracts

Selected tissues were weighed and mechanically homogenized in sterile PBS. Homogenates were clarified by centrifugation (2,000×g) for 5 minutes at 4° C. Clarified homogenates were then serially diluted and used in plaque assays to determine virus titer.

Quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA Copy Numbers

To probe viral RNA in selected tissues, samples were harvested and stored in RNAlater at −80° C. Total RNA from tissues was isolated using a RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen), in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. For nasal lavage samples, total RNA was extracted using a ZR viral RNA kit (Zymo Research) in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected as previously described⁶ using the nCoV_IP2 primer-probe set (National Reference Center for Respiratory Viruses, Pasteur Institute). An Applied Biosystems 7500 using the StepOnePlus real-time PCR system was used to perform RT-qPCR reactions. The nCoV_IP2 primer-probe set was using in combination with TaqMan fast virus 1-step master mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to detect viral RNA. SARS-CoV-2 RNA copy numbers were calculated using a standard curve created from serial dilutions of a PCR fragment (12669-14146 nt of the SARS-CoV-2 genome), as previously described (Nat Microbiol 6, 11-18, doi:10.1038/s41564-020-00835-2 (2021)). For RNA copies in tissue samples, RNA copies were normalized to the weights of the tissues used.

Next Generation Sequencing

To authenticate virus stocks, metagenomic sequencing was performed as described^(37,38). Viral RNA was treated with Turbo DNase I (Thermo Fisher). cDNA was generated from random hexamers using SuperScript III reverse transcriptase, second strand was generated using Sequenase 2.0, and cleaned using 0.8×Ampure XP beads purification on a SciClone IQ (Perkin Elmer). Sequencing libraries were generated using two-fifths volumes of Nextera XT on ds-cDNA with 18 cycles of PCR amplification. Libraries were cleaned using 0.8×Ampure XP beads and pooled equimolarly before sequencing on an Illumina NovaSeq (1×100 bp run). Raw fastq reads were trimmed using cutadapt (−q 20) (Martin). To interrogate potential resistance alleles, reference-based mapping to NC 045512.2 was carried out using our modified Longitudinal Analysis of Viral Alleles (LAVA—https://github.com/michellejlin/lava)³⁹ pipeline. LAVA constructs a candidate reference genome from early passage virus using bwa⁴⁰, removes PCR duplicates with Picard, calls variants with VarScan^(41,42), and converts these changes into amino acid changes with Annovar (Nucleic Acids Res. 38, e164, doi:10.1093/nar/gkq603 (2010). Genome sequences repository IDs are as follows: input strain WA1/2020, aa; WA1/2020 recovered from ferrets, bb-cc; input strain BZ/2021, dd; BZ/2021 recovered from source ferrets, ee-ff; BZ/2021 recovered from contacts of vehicle-treated source ferrets, gg-hh.

Ethics Statement

All in vivo efficacy studies were conducted at Georgia State University in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act Code of Federal Regulations and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. All studies involving SARS-CoV-2 infected ferrets were approved by the Georgia State Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee under protocol A20031. Experiments using infectious SARS-CoV-2 were performed in BSL-3/ABSL-3 facilities at Georgia State University and approved by the Georgia State Institutional Biosafety Committee under protocol B20016.

Statistics and Reproducibility

The Microsoft Excel (version 16.48), GraphPad Prism (version 9.1.0), and Numbers (version 10.1) software packages were used for data collection and analysis. One-way or two-way ANOVA with Dunnett's or Tukey's multiple comparisons post-hoc test were used to evaluate statistical significance when comparing more than two groups or two independent variables. When comparing two variables, a two-tailed unpaired t-test was performed to determine statistical significance. The specific statistical test used to individual studies is specified in the figure legends. RT-qPCR data were collected and analyzed using the StepOnePlus (version 2.1; Applied Biosystems) software package. Final figures were assembled in Adobe Illustrator (version CS6). The Source Data file provides the summaries of individual statistical analyses used in each dataset. Effect sizes between groups in the ANOVAs were calculated as η²=(SS_(effect)) (SS_(total)) for one-way ANOVA and ω²=(SS_(effect)−(df_(effect))(MS_(error)))/MS_(error)+SS_(total) for two-way ANOVA (SS_(effect), sum of squares for the effect; SS_(total), sum of squares for total; df_(effect), degrees of freedom for the effect; MS_(error), mean squared error). The statistical significance level a was set to <0.05 for all experiments. Exact P values are shown in the individual graphs.

Oral PK Properties and Antiviral Potency of Compound 1

Assessment of Compound 1 PK parameters in the ferret efficacy model has revealed excellent oral bioavailability (FIG. 1 a , Table 3), distribution to soft tissues including lung, and efficient anabolism to bioactive Reference Compound B (Table 4). After oral administration of Compound 1, essentially only the Reference Compound A metabolite appeared in the blood (Table 3), indicating near-quantitative conversion during intestinal absorption.

Prophylactic Efficacy in Ferrets

To test antiviral efficacy, ferrets were infected intranasally with 1×10⁵ plaque forming units (pfu) of WA1/2020, followed by twice daily (b.i.d.) oral treatment with Compound 1 at 20 mg/kg body weight for four days (FIG. 2 a ). Treatment was initiated at the time of infection, nasal lavages collected in 12-hour intervals, and respiratory tissues harvested 4 days after infection. Shed SARS-CoV-2 load in nasal lavages of vehicle-treated animals reached plateau at day 1.5 after infection at approximately 1×10⁴ pfu/mL, whereas virus was transiently detectable in lavages of only one ferret of the Compound 1 treatment group at 12 hours after infection (FIG. 2 b ). Clinical signs overall are minor in the ferret model⁶. However, only animals of the vehicle group showed elevated body temperature (FIG. 2 c ) and reduced weight gain (FIG. 2 d ). Virus was undetectable in the nasal turbinates extracted from treated animals 4 days after infection, compared to a robust load of approximately 5×10⁴ pfu/g nasal turbinate of animals of the vehicle group (FIG. 2 e ). Viral RNA copy numbers found in lavages (FIG. 2 f ) and turbinates (FIG. 2 g ) mirrored the infectious titer results, revealing a consistent, statistically significant difference between vehicle and treatment groups of two and three orders of magnitude, respectively. Consistent with prior studies (CITE COX), no infectious virions or viral RNA were detectable in the lower respiratory tract (FIG. 2 h,i ).

Therapeutic Efficacy and Lowest Efficacious Dose

Oral treatment with Compound 1 was initiated 12 hours after infection at the 10 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg body weight levels, administered b.i.d. (FIG. 3 a ). EIDD-2801/molnupiravir at 5 mg/kg b.i.d. was given as reference following an identical therapeutic b.i.d. regimen. Shed virus load was lower in all treated animals than in the vehicle group within 12 hours of treatment onset (FIG. 3 b ). Consistent with this inhibitory effect, treated animals also exhibited reduced burden in the turbinates (FIG. 3 c ). No significant differences in clinical signs were noted between vehicle animals and any of the treatment groups (FIG. 3 d,e ).

Viral RNA was detectable in nasal lavages and turbinates of all animals, underscoring efficient infection. However, RNA copies showed a statistically significant mean reduction in the 10 mg/kg Compound 1 and EIDD-2801/molnupiravir groups compared to vehicle (FIG. 3 f,g ). These results confirm oral efficacy of therapeutic Compound 1 against WA1/2020 in a relevant animal model of upper respiratory infection.

Inhibition of Replication and Transmission of a Major VoC

To probe the anti-SARS-CoV-2 indication spectrum of Compound 1, the efficacious regimen, 10 mg/kg Compound 1 delivered orally, b.i.d., started 12 hours after infection, was applied to recently emerged VoC BZ/2021¹⁶ in a combined efficacy and transmission study (FIG. 4 a ). After an initial replication delay, shed virus became detectable in vehicle-treated animals 1.5 days after infection, then rapidly reached a robust plateau of nearly 10⁴ pfu/mL nasal lavage on day 2 after infection (FIG. 4 b ). Quantitation of viral RNA copies mimicked the profile of the infectious titers, although a low viral RNA load was present in lavages already on the first day after infection (FIG. 4 c ). Viral titers and RNA copies in nasal turbinates determined 4 days after infection were likewise high, ranging from 10⁴ to 10⁵ pfu/g tissue (FIG. 4 d ) and 10⁸ to 10¹⁰ RNA copies/g tissue (FIG. 4 e ), respectively. However, no infectious BZ/2021 virions or viral RNA were detected in the lungs of any of these animals (FIG. 4 f,g ), and no clinical signs such as changes in body weight or fever emerged (FIG. 5 a,b). Treatment of BZ/2021 infection with oral Compound 1 was highly efficacious, reducing both shed virus burden and tissue titers to undetectable (FIG. 4 b,d ) and lowering viral RNA copies in nasal lavages and turbinates by over three orders of magnitude (FIG. 4 c,e ).

Whole genome sequencing of the virus inoculum and virus populations extracted from nasal turbinates revealed that an L260F substitution in nsp6 associated with SARS-CoV-2 adaptation to weasels had a 60%-allele frequency in the BZ/2021 inoculum (FIG. 4 h ). Four days after infection of ferrets, this mutation had become fully dominant and a second characteristic weasel mutation, Y453F in the spike protein that was first noted in several clusters of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in mink farms, had emerged in addition (FIG. 4 h ). Furthermore the presence of an F184V exchange in nsp6 of the BZ/2021 inoculum, which arose during amplification in VeroE6 cells and was rapidly counterselected against in the ferret host. In contrast, the WA1/2020 inoculum used for our ferret studies did not contain any unreported additional changes (FIG. 4 h ). WA1/2020 also acquired a weasel-characteristic mutation when passaged through ferrets, N501T in the receptor binding domain of the spike protein¹⁰, but no Y453F substitution or changes in nsp6 were detected. Neither the Compound 1-experienced BZ/20201 nor WA1/2020 populations contained remdesivir resistance mutations previously selected in the related mouse hepatitis virus (i.e., F476 L and V553L in nsp12), when viruses were extracted from treated animals at the time of termination (FIG. 4 h ).

All vehicle-treated animals efficiently transmitted BZ/2021 to untreated direct contact ferrets (FIG. 4 b-e ). Co-housing was started 54 hours after infection and continued until termination of the source animals. Shed BZ/2021 replicated in the contacts without delay, becoming first detectable in nasal lavages within 12 hours after initiation of co-housing. This altered replication profile corroborated BZ/2021 adaptation to the ferret host in the source animals, and virus populations recovered from contacts of vehicle-treated source animals indeed contained both the L260F exchange in nsp6 and the Y453F mutation in spike (FIG. 4 h ). Consistent with efficient inhibition of BZ/2021 replication in the treated source animals by oral Compound 1, treatment completely blocked virus transmission to untreated direct-contact animals. None of the contacts of treated source ferrets shed infectious particles or viral RNA at any time (FIG. 4 b,c ), infectious viral particles were absent from nasal turbinates 5.5 days after initiation of co-housing (FIG. 4 d ), and only a low level of viral RNA (<10⁵ copies/g nasal turbinate) was detected in nasal turbinates of the contact animals (FIG. 4 e ).

Example 52: In Vivo Efficacy of Compound 15 Against SARS-CoV-2 in Ferrets

Female ferrets (4 animals per dose group; 6-10 months old) were infected intranasally with 10⁵ PFU of SARS-CoV-2 and treated with either vehicle, 5 mg/kg EIDD-2801, or Compound 15 at 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg orally. Treatment was initiated 12 hours post infection. Ferrets were dosed either BID or QD as noted until day 3.5, then euthanized 12-hours afterwards on study day 4. SARS-CoV-2 infection of ferrets does not cause physiological effects on weight or lung function, and viral infection is limited to the nasopharynx, with no consistent detection of virus in the lungs. SARS-CoV-2 infectious titers were measured from daily nasal lavage fluid samples, as well as terminal nasal turbinates and lung tissue. As expected, no detectable virus gRNA by RT-qPCR were found in ferret lungs from any group (vehicle and treatment) at the terminal tissue harvest of this study (data not shown). Further, no detectable infectious titers (nor gRNA by RT-qPCR) were found in ferret lungs from any group during the evaluation of earlier compounds in prior studies. The results of these experiments are summarized in Table 6 below.

Example 53: In Vivo Efficacy of Orally Dosed Compound 1 Against SARS-CoV-2 in AGMs

Compound 1 was evaluated by oral gavage dosing (PO) 8 hours after infection with SARS-CoV-2 (WA1). Compound 1 was dosed at 120 or 60 mg/kg QD for 6 days—the first dose was administered at 8 hr following infection and the five following doses were administered in 24 hr interval post infection. BALF and nasal and throat swabs were collected at days 1, 2, 4, and 6 days post-infection and assessed for viral load quantitation. Animals were euthanized on day 6 for terminal BALF and tissue collections. The complete procedures and study designs are detailed below.

The experimental groups for to evaluate Compound 1 by oral dosing are shown in the Table 7. A total of 18 AGM (9 M, 9 F) were used in this study. Animals were randomized into one of three treatment groups, with sex evenly distributed within each group. The study was conducted in 3 cohorts, each staggered by one day; each treatment group was evenly represented within each study cohort. On study day 0, animals were infected with approximately 3×10⁶ TCID₅₀ SARS-CoV-2 by a combination of intranasal and intratracheal instillation. Starting at approximately 8 hours post-inoculation, animals in all groups were treated with either test article or vehicle by oral (PO) gavage. Dosing continued once daily thereafter for an additional 5 days (i.e., a total of 6 days of dosing). Animals were euthanized on study day 6 for terminal tissue collection and histopathology.

TABLE 7 Experimental groups for the Compound 1 PO study Concentration Dose Dose (mg/kg) Group N Challenge Treatment (mg/mL) Route (mL/kg) 1 6 IN/IT SARS- Vehicle N/A PO N/A CoV-2 (2 mL/kg) 2 6 IN/IT SARS- Compound 1 60 mg/mL PO 120 mg/kg CoV-2 (2 mL/kg) 3 6 IN/IT SARS- Compound 1 30 mg/mL PO 60 mg/kg CoV-2 (2 mL/kg)

Following infection, animals were monitored daily for clinical disease. At 1, 2, 4, and 6 days post-infection, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and nasal and throat swabs were collected for quantification of both infectious viral titers and viral RNA. On study day 6, animals were euthanized for collection of respiratory tissues for quantification of tissue viral burden and for histopathology. On study day 0, oral dosing occurred approximately 8 hours post-infection in chair restrained animals. Collection of BALF and swabs on days 1, 2, 4 and 6 occurred as an anesthetized procedure in the morning, at approximate 24-hour intervals relative to infection, with oral dosing of test article immediately following, under the same anesthesia. On days without scheduled BALF or swab collections (i.e., study days 3 and 5), animals were chair restrained for dosing.

Oral Gavage

Animals in all groups received test compound (or vehicle) by oral gavage. As shown in Table 7, all animals were dosed at a volume of 2 mL/kg. Compound 1 was dosed at 120 mg/kg (Group 2) or 60 mg/kg (Group 3). Animals in Group 1 received vehicle control. Dosing was based on baseline body weights obtained prior to SARS-CoV-2 infections. Immediately following dosing, the test article was flushed with approximately 10 mL water. On study days 0, 3 and 5, dosing was performed in alert, chair-restrained animals. On study days 1, 2 and 4, dosing was performed in anesthetized animals, immediately following BALF and swab collections.

Virus Installations

AGMs were anesthetized with ketamine and isoflurane and placed in the prone position for SARS-CoV-2 infections by both intranasal and intratracheal instillation. The total inoculation will be delivered in 3 mL per animal (2 mL delivered intratracheal and 1 mL delivered intranasal). Virus was thawed, diluted with vehicle to 1×10⁶ TCID₅₀/mL immediately prior to infections, and kept on ice until used for inoculation. For intratracheal instillation, a pediatric bronchoscope (Olympus XP-40) was advanced approximately midway into the trachea. Polyethylene (PE) tubing was advanced through the bronchoscope, and 2 mL virus was instilled through the tubing, followed by 0.5 mL sterile saline and approximately 1 mL air. For intranasal instillation, 0.5 mL of the viral inoculum was administered drop-wise into each nostril (i.e., 0.5 mL per nostril, 1 mL total). Following infections, 2×0.5 mL aliquots were saved and stored at approximately −70° C. for back-titration by TCID₅₀ assay.

Nasal and Throat Swabs

Nasal and throat swabs were collected at baseline, and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 days post-infection from anesthetized animals, concurrent with BALF collections. On days 1, 2 and 4, collections were performed immediately prior to dose administration. Actual collection times were documented in the study files. Samples were collected with cotton tip applicators pre-soaked in sterile saline, advanced into the nasal cavity or the back of the throat, respectively. Two swabs were collected per site. Each swab was placed in a tube containing approximately 0.5 mL sterile saline and immediately frozen on dry ice prior to storage at approximately −70° C.

Bronchoscopy and Bronchoalveolar Lavage

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected from anesthetized animals at baseline, and at 1, 2, 4, and 6 days post-infection. On days 1, 2 and 4, collections were performed immediately prior to dose administration, and on day 6, collections were performed immediately prior to euthanasia. Actual collection times were documented in the study files. Briefly, a pediatric bronchoscope (Olympus XP-40) was advanced into the left caudal lung lobe, 10 mL sterile saline was infused, and the maximum volume as aspirated. The process was repeated for the right caudal lung lobe. The collection time and the total recovered volume for both the left and right lung lavages were recorded, and the samples were stored on wet ice until processing.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) Processing

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were stored on wet ice until processing. The BALF was centrifuged at approximately 1000×g for 10 minutes at 4° C., and the processing start time was recorded. The BALF supernatant was divided into ˜1 mL aliquots in individually labeled tubes and were stored along with the cell pellet at approximately −70° C. until further analysis. A minimum of 4×˜1 mL aliquots were saved from both the left and right lavage sample from each animal at each timepoint.

Nasal/Throat Swab Processing

Nasal and oropharyngeal (throat) swabs were placed in a tube containing approximately 0.5 mL sterile saline and immediately frozen on dry ice following collection. Samples were stored at approximately −70° C. until further analysis.

Euthanasia and Necropsy

Detailed gross necropsies were performed on all animals. Scheduled euthanasia occurred 6 days post-infection for gross necropsy and tissue collection. Animals were sedated with ketamine (10-20 mg/kg), and euthanasia was performed immediately following collection of BALF and swabs. The exact time of euthanasia was recorded. Terminal body weights and total lung weights were obtained, and a lung weight/body weight ratio was calculated for each animal. Gross necropsy was performed. The necropsy consisted of a complete external and internal examination including body orifices (ears, nostrils, mouth, anus, etc.) and cranial, thoracic, and abdominal organs and tissues. All gross findings (including those of lung and tracheobronchial lymph nodes) was recorded in descriptive terms. The thoracic trachea, left lungs, and tracheobronchial lymph nodes were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) and then processed for microscopic examination. The right lung was reserved for sampling of respiratory tract tissues for quantification of infectious viral titers and viral RNA.

Tissue Collection and Preservation

The right lung was reserved for sampling of respiratory tract tissues for quantification of infectious viral titers, viral RNA, and for bioanalysis; the left lung was reserved for fixation and histopathology. Sampling of respiratory tract tissues was standardized in a necropsy guide and trim guide. Samples for bioanalysis (right middle lung and right middle bronchus) were collected from as soon as possible following euthanasia and after obtaining whole lung weights and gross photos of the dorsal and ventral surfaces; these samples were flash frozen liquid nitrogen immediately following collection, and the time of freezing was recorded. Additional sections of the right lung were collected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for viral quantification assays (RT-qPCR and TCID₅₀). All frozen samples were stored at approximately −70° C. until processing and analysis.

Quantitative PCR and Infectious Virus Titers

A total of 20 samples for each animal was evaluated for SARS-CoV-2 RNA and infectious virus titers by reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and median dose tissue culture infection (TCID₅₀) assay.

Tissue Processing and RNA Extraction

For BALF samples and nasal and throat swabs, viral RNA was extracted from liquid supernatants from samples processed and preserved. For tissue samples, approximately 75 mg was homogenized in Trizol using a TissueLyser. Samples were centrifuged at 4000×g for 5 minutes, and supernatants were saved RNA extraction. RNA was isolated from all samples using the QIAGEN RNeasy Kit or equivalent, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Extracted RNA was used for qRT-PCR analyses as described below.

Reverse Transcription Quantitative PCR

Each of the RNA samples was evaluated for SARS CoV-2 viral RNA and subgenomic RNA by RT-qPCR. Methods for each assay were optimized prior to sample analysis. Total SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA was quantified by a RT-qPCR assay targeting the SARS CoV-2 nucleocapsid phosphoprotein gene (N gene). Genome copies per mL or g equivalents were calculated from a standard curve generated from RNA standards of known copy concentration. All samples were run in triplicate.

The SARS CoV-2 N gene primers and probe sequences are as follows:

SARS CoV-2 Forward:  5′ TTACAAACATTGGCCGCAAA 3′ SARS CoV-2 Reverse:  5′ GCGCGACATTCCGAAGAA 3′ SARS CoV-2 Probe:  6FAM-ACAATTTGCCCCCAGCGCTTCAG-BHQ-1

Amplification and detection were performed using a suitable real-time thermal cycler under the following cycling conditions: 50° C. for 5 minutes, 95° C. for 20 seconds and 40 cycles of 95° C. for 3 seconds, and 60° C. for 30 seconds.

SARS-CoV-2 subgenomic RNA was quantified by a RT-qPCR assay targeting the E gene. The assay was adapted from Wolfel et. al. (Virological assessment of hospitalized patients with COVID-2019. Nature. 581:465-470. doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2196-x), with the forward primer binding the E gene leader sequence and the reverse primer binding the E gene itself. All samples will be run in triplicate.

Infectious Virus Titers

Each sample was be evaluated for infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus by TCID₅₀ assay using Vero E6 cells in a 96-well format. Stock virus of known concentration and blank media served as positive and negative controls, respectively. At assay completion, cells were formalin fixed and stained, and TCID₅₀ titer was calculated according to the Reed-Muench method (A simple method of estimating fifty percent endpoints. Am. J. Hygiene. 27:493-497).

The results of these experiments are shown in FIG. 6 . As seen, compared to AGMs dosed with vehicle, mean SARS-CoV-2 gRNA in BALF was significantly reduced in animals dosed with 120 mg/kg Compound 1 for 4 and 6 days (FIG. 8 ). On day 6, gRNA was significantly lower than vehicle animals in the lower 60 mg/kg group. Infectious SARS-CoV-2 titers among animals treated with either Compound 1 at 60 or 120 mg/kg trended lower than the vehicle group on days 2-6. Viral RNA loads in lower lung tissue trended lower with treatment of Compound 1 versus vehicle.

Example 54: In Vivo Efficacy of Compound 1 and Compound 15 Against Mouse-Adapted SARS-CoV-2 in Mice

The virus stock utilized for SARS-CoV-2 in vivo studies was derived from the infectious clone of the mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 (MA10) strain generated as described in Dinnon, K H et al. (A mouse-adapted model of SARS-CoV-2 to test COVID-19 countermeasures. Nature. 586:560-566). Cohorts of 7-10-week-old female Balb/c mice (n=10/dose group), were administered vehicle or compound by oral gavage at the indicated times after intranasal infection with 1×10⁴ PFU mouse-adapted SARS-CoV strain MA10 in 50 μL. Mice were anaesthetized with a mixture of ketamine/xylazine prior to intranasal infection. Vehicle or test article were administered BID or QD as described below. Mice were treated by PO dosing of 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg Compound 15 or EIDD-2801 (100 mg/kg) at twelve hours after intranasal infection with SARS-CoV-2 (MA10). A separate group of mice was treated with 30 mg/kg Compound 15 at 24 h.p.i. Thereafter, mice were treated BID with vehicle, Compound 15, or EIDD-2801 until day 4. In two separate studies, mice were treated by PO dosing of 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg Compound 1 eight hours after intranasal infection with SARS-CoV-2 (MA10). Mice were treated BID with vehicle or Compound 1 starting at +8 h.p.i., with the second dose occurring at 24 h.p.i., and subsequent doses at 12-hour intervals until day 4.

Body weight and pulmonary function by whole body plethysmography were measured daily. On 4 dpi, animals were sacrificed by isoflurane overdose, lungs were scored for lung hemorrhage (congestion score), and the inferior right lobe was frozen at −80° C. for viral titration via plaque assay. Briefly, 500,000 Vero E6 cells/well were seeded in 6-well plates. The following day, medium was removed and serial dilutions of clarified lung homogenate were added per plate (10⁻¹ to 10⁻⁶ dilutions) and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hr after which wells were overlaid with 1×DMEM, 5% Fetal Clone 2 serum, 1× antibiotic/antimycotic, 0.8% agarose. Two days after, plaques were enumerated to generate a plaque/ml value.

Lung hemorrhage (congestion scoring) is a gross pathological phenotype readily observed by the naked eye driven by the degree of virus replication where the coloration of the lung changes from pink to dark red. Pulmonary function (PenH) was monitored once daily via whole-body plethysmography (Buxco Respiratory Solutions, DSI Inc.). Mice intended for this analysis were randomly chosen prior to the initiation of the study. Briefly, after a 30-min acclimation time in the plethysmograph, data for 11 parameters was recorded every 2 s for 5 min.

All statistical data analyses were performed in Graphpad Prism 8. Statistical significance for each endpoint was determined with specific statistical tests. In general, for metrics with multiple treatment groups with longitudinal data (e.g., mouse weight loss or pulmonary function over time), two-way ANOVA was performed with the suggested multiple comparison test as advised by Prism. For comparative data with for a single timepoint (e.g., lung titer) Kruskal-Wallis or one-way ANOVA was performed with the suggested multiple comparison test. For each test, a p-value <0.05 was considered significant.

The results of these experiments for compound 15 are presented in FIG. 7 . As seen, the mean body weights were maintained (or elevated due to the relatively young mouse age at study start) in the 10 and 30 mg/kg BID dose groups as well as the EIDD-2801-treated mice when treatment was initiated at 12 h.p.i. The effect of SARS-CoV-2 on pulmonary function was significantly reduced when mice were treated with 30 mg/kg Compound 1 or EIDD-2801 12 h.p.i. Congestion scores were significantly lower in all treatment groups, with less significant effects in mice treated with Compound 15 at 3 mg/kg BID at 12 h.p.i. or 30 mg/kg starting at 24 h.p.i. Delaying the 30 mg/kg Compound 15 treatment to 24 h.p.i. had minor effects on weight, lung function, and congestion scores.

The results for Compound 1 are shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 . As seen, oral dosing of Compound 1 reduced terminal lung titers of SARS-CoV-2 in a dose-dependent manner (FIG. 8 ). Consistent with these viral load reductions, mean body weights were maintained and congestion scores were lowest in the 10 and 30 mg/kg Compound 1 dose groups. The effect of SARS-CoV-2 on pulmonary function was significantly reduced in all Compound 1 treated mice regardless of dose (FIG. 9 ).

At 2, 12, 25, 45, 65 and 90 min, 25 μL aliquots of the reaction mixture were transferred to plates containing 225 μl of IS/Q solution. After quenching, the plates were centrifuged at 3000×g for 30 minutes, and 150 μL aliquots of each supernatant were diluted with 150 μL water. Aliquots (10 μL) of the diluted supernatant were analyzed on a Thermo Q-Exactive mass spectrometer as described below.
